is not as if the departments run on flattering, the work should speak volumes.
Therefore, it is necessary to enjoy the work given and that too, with fun. I can
safely say that I got a benefit in the workplace, because of my work and the
officers around me, even the Board of Directors (BOD) as well as the Chairman
and the Managing Director know my name and hence, trusted me with the work
and responsibilities. I consider this an achievement of my job. I am proud of
spending my thirty lively, working years in one office, which is a record. Along
with this, I got three promotions.
Career Opportunities– The work I did can’t be called as a career; however, my work
cannot be underestimated, even with the presence of five thousand
officers/employees. The office where I was posted was the link to power
generation centres for various higher levels. We all know the fact that power
generation is teamwork. It is difficult to be responsible individually for the
success or even the failure. Therefore, we can say that this office has been a
cushion for all the shockers. However, I can, with guarantee, say that if you do
your work efficiently and on time, you will not face the need to spread your
hands in front of people. Your work will define and identify you.
Experiences - 1) To collect data of electricity generation, oil/coal consumption of
various thermal and hydel power plants in the state daily/month
wise/quarterly/yearly/in all formats.
2) Based on the performance of the past years, setting the targets for the coming
years, determining the annual and major maintenance schedules of the power
generating units, their continuous monitoring etc. are the tasks executed in the
headquarters itself.

3) Being an undertaking of the State Government, it is an obligation to answer
the questions raised by the Honorable Members in the Legislative Assembly,
Lok/Rajya Sabha immediately or within the stipulated time frame. For this,
personal presence in the capital is mandatory for several days, until the question
is answered in the House. I had the distinction of being the nodal officer of my
company and also of the production department before this.

4) Audit: It is mandatory in any government institution, carried out through the
team selected by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG). Financial
auditing in a power generation company is fine, but its performance is also
audited. The regular audit is done by the smallest audit officer of the Accountant
General to the Comptroller and Auditor General of India. If you gave the exact
answers and explanations at the first position (half margin) in such a way that the
scope of further questions is over, then you have achieved success otherwise it
will be recorded in the CAG's report for that year.

Special Work–Once, the coal power of the 200 MW unit of the thermal power
plant was destroyed. A coal bunker is a place where raw coal is transported
